Aquaconsult: your moisture control expert in West Flanders
When it comes to moisture control, Aquaconsult is number one in the West Flanders region. We are active throughout West Flanders, including in the cities of Bruges, Kortrijk, Ostend, Roeselare, Waregem, Ypres, Menin, Knokke-Heist, Wevelgem and Harelbeke. But we are also active far beyond, in Antwerp, Limburg, East Flanders and Flemish Brabant.
Many West-Flemish people suffer from moisture problems in their homes. Moisture control can take all possible forms, such as a cellar seal in damp cellars or wall injections in the event of rising damp.
Due to the fact that many houses in the West Flemish province need moisture control, they often do not use their full potential and many spaces remain underused. This has an impact on the quality of living (no one likes to live in a house with damp air).
This also gives house fungi free rein to attach themselves to walls, which means that we regularly install mechanical and automatic ventilation systems in West Flemish houses. These have a very favourable effect on the humidity level of the house and of the walls.
Custom moisture control in West Flanders
Moisture control can occur in a variety of places in the West Flanders home: the basement, bathroom, bedroom or living room. If the moisture problem occurs on the ground floor, there is often rising damp or mold. However, they often have similar symptoms. So it is important to have an expert come in to determine what the exact problem is. Only then can a lasting solution be provided.
Basement: the most sensitive spot for moisture problems in West Flanders region
Depending on the region, some locations in the home are more sensitive than others. This is due in part to the type of soil or proximity to a watercourse. In West Flanders, for example, many basements suffer from moisture problems.
When the moisture problem occurs on higher floors, it is more likely that you are dealing with penetrating moisture or problems with the roof. The major cause of this is the heavy rain that falls in Flanders.
Cellar sealing and cellar drainage
One of the biggest uncertainties in moisture control is the difference between cellar sealing and cellar drainage. Both are incomparable and involve a completely different approach. With a cellar waterproofing, also known as basement drainage, the cellar is literally sealed: a new watertight layer forms a moisture barrier between the inner space and the damp outside area.
With cellar drainage, we work differently and we do not start to block the moisture but channel it. Drainage takes place in cellars where the ground water pressure is too high for a basement tank. Here the cellar moisture is drained to a central collection point, where a sustainable water pump pumps the water out. The great advantage of cellar drainage is the lower price and the lasting guarantee that the cellar will never again have moisture problems. This guarantee also exists in the case of a basement tank, although the ground water pressure plays a major role in the success of such a treatment. For this reason, be sure to have the cellar thoroughly analysed by a recognised Aquaconsult moisture expert during the free moisture expertise, so that you can be sure which treatment(s) your cellar is eligible for. We are very active in the field of moisture control in East Flanders with various local departments.
Ventilation system installed?
Want to have a ventilation system installed? Ventilating the room better is the most appropriate option for moisture problems related to high humidity. Think mold or condensation moisture. In most cases, better ventilating the space has a more preventative function, which is why we usually apply it in conjunction with a moisture control technique that addresses the current moisture problem.
Take a damp basement, for example: the moisture often comes from rising soil moisture or groundwater that finds its way up through the basement floor. We call this pocket water. Depending on the location and condition of the basement, we opt here for basement waterproofing or basement drainage as a solution. Then we provide more ventilation in the basement so that the room will never again smell or feel damp and musty.
